I have an idea how to deal with A Tale of Two Leaks
But I can't work on it until the roof dries out. Meanwhile the wood framing gets wetter and wetter - not a good thing.
I just checked the weather forecast
Today: Snow, mainly before 4pm. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 39. Northwest wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.
Right! This is Mississippi, remember.

Running With the Pack
Hardly anyone out there is going to take this seriously, but TV changes you. The kicker is that if you watch it all the time, you'll never know, which under normal circumstances ought to scare you shitless...
No amount of sermonizing will make a difference here, so I'll move on. But I'm telling you, it's true. If you disconnect from the medium long enough to stop associating certain days and times with TV shows you're used to watching, you WILL be different, with values and behavior that arise from sources you never knew existed. There is no arguing with this, you simply have to experience it.
